Hey,

Used to live in Marin (San Rafael) for about 7 years, loved it. I guess the site is airfarewatch.com. I will have a look as I could do with some cheaper fares - the google ads (sponsored listings) are never as cheap as are advertised!

Thanks, say hi to the sleeping lady for me!! (Mt Tam!)

From the Travelzoo Newsdesk:

SAN FRANCISCO--June 15, 2010-- Fares to several European
destinations from San Francisco just dropped by 50% for
travel over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Prices start at $494 roundtrip, including taxes. Regular
prices to Europe during this peak travel period are $1000-
$1400.

Sample (roundtrip, incl. tax) prices from San Francisco:

- Copenhagen, Denmark ... $494
- London, England ... $511
- Zurich, Switzerland ... $549
- Frankfurt, Germany ... $596
- Paris, France ... $608

These fares are not part of an advertised sale so they are
expected to sell out quickly.

The best fares were found when departing Nov. 23 or 25 and
returning Nov. 29. Search several date combinations to
find the best price.

Thanks for the site. I’ll check it out. When I fly I am motivated purely by price. I have flown United, American Airlines, British Airways and TWA internationally and to be honest I really couldn’t tell very much difference between the service of any of them. They were all very good.

I'm trying to find flights for my mum coming the other way (UK to US). The flights are waaaay more expensive than last year. She's rarely had to pay more than £400 but now the best I can find is about £550. :(

TWA? Now you're going back ;)

Hi, I'm not sure where in the UK your mum is based and where exactly in the U.S. she is looking to get to. But I just saw a roundtrip ticket on expedia.co.uk for 426.27 pounds (including taxes) from London Heathrow to JFK in New York. There are a couple of stops on the way in Paris and Montreal, so if she's wanting to fly direct to the U.S. this may be problematic. Depending upon where she's going, another alternative is to fly to Canada and take a Greyhound from Canada to stateside (obviously not practical if she's going somewhere like Florida, but could work for NYC.) For cheap flights to Canada check out canadianaffair.co.uk Hope this helps!

Thanks SweetScottishChick! I want her to fly direct though (LON-SFO) because it's such a long journey for her anyway. I'll check out expedia.co.uk though, I never thought to go there, I always go straight to the possible airlines. Thanks for your reply.

Also try http://www.kayak.co.uk (it shows fares for almost all of the airlines flying the routes you want with links to either the airlines' websites or the third party agency offering the flights and fares which most appeal to you (or your mum!). There is also http://www.kayak.com for US departures.

Re: Low air fare
 

A couple of other websites to look at are travelocity.co.uk and netflights.com

Hope this helps!

Re: Low air fare
 

Wonderful, thank you! :)

Another recommendation here for kayak (either co.uk or .com), very useful site.

Thanksgiving is always a great time to fly. Usually quite cheap. The whole thing I'd note is that the week or two after Thanksgiving is "Christmas Party" time in London and some other major cities, and many folks book hotel rooms well in advance in anticipation of a) being too drunk to get home or b) something with another employee involving alcohol. It can make finding a hotel a little tricky (if that is something you need).

Thanksgiving is only a good time to fly if you leave the US, not fly to the US...
